I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 200 - 164: Soul Replenishing Powder in the Deep Sea

Tian Lin returned to his room with small cuts from the Two-headed Fish scales mostly healed.

At this moment, Yu'er approached and asked Tian Lin, "Master, how was your day?"

Tian Lin replied, "Caught a Two-headed Fish, made a decent profit."

While speaking, he first went to the kitchen and tossed the dead body of the Two-headed Fish into a large barrel.

Looking at the barrel packed with the Two-headed Fish, Yu'er couldn't help but exclaim, and even Cui'er ran into the kitchen.

Several housemaids pointed at the fish, and Yu'er, standing next to Tian Lin, couldn't help but say in disbelief, "Master, did you catch this fish today?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "It's also due to good luck that I caught one."

"The viscera and scales of this Two-headed Fish could be sold for more than twenty Spirit Stones.

Although it's only a third of what a Talisman Maker can earn in a day, it's still quite a lot."

After Yu'er finished speaking, the maids in the kitchen, including Cui'er, looked at Tian Lin with new respect.

They came from the Tong Family and were usually quite arrogant.

However, Tian Lin's behavior in the past two days had somewhat disappointed them; they thought this old man was stingy and lacked ability. Staying with Tian Lin seemed to have no promising future.

But now, Tian Lin had given them a pleasant surprise. As long as Tian Lin could earn Spirit Stones, their days and social standing would improve.

"That Water Official shouldn't dare to embezzle my Spirit Stones, so I managed to get twenty-six Low Grade Spirit Stones this trip."

Tian Lin did not conceal this, and Yu'er nodded, smiling, "Master must be tired, please take a bath to wash off the dust first, and the maids will prepare your meal immediately."

However, Tian Lin said, "For today's meal, we'll still have Water Spirit Rice, and for the dishes—just prepare this Two-headed Fish meat from now on."

Yu'er's smile hesitated. She followed Tian Lin out of the room and said behind him, "Master, you may not know, but the Two-headed Fish is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Tian Lin didn't turn his head and said, "I asked the Water Official, and he said there's an antidote for the Two-headed Fish. Just eat the antidote, and at most it will cause some diarrhea."

Watching Tian Lin return to his room, Yu'er then turned back to the kitchen.

The two maids really didn't know what to say, only stomp their feet lightly and complain softly, "Miss Yu'er, this fish is so big, how should we cook it?"

Cui'er also added, "He doesn't want to eat Spirit Meat, but does he have to eat a Two-headed Fish? I've heard these are eaten by fishermen who can't afford Spirit Meat and Spirit Rice.

Even if he's not a noble family's son, he shouldn't be so reluctant to spend Spirit Stones to buy this kind of fish meat."

Yu'er knew that Foundation Establishment Cultivators were powerful and feared that Cui'er's words would reach Tian Lin and further anger him.

She glared at her sister and said, "Do as the master has instructed, when is it up to the servants to make decisions for the master?"

Since she was the chief maid assigned to Tian Lin, after him, she was in charge of the household.

Since she had spoken, who dared to object?

At dinner, the steamed fish was served, and Tian Lin found it especially delicious.

Yu'er, picking fish bones for Tian Lin, saw him lost in thought and did not speak.

"By the way, does the Old Ancestor of the Tong Family often return to Pingyang City?"

Tian Lin was still thinking about Tong Yao he had encountered during the day. He knew that Tong Yao bore no ill intent toward him, but the involuntary feeling of wanting to kneel in her presence today made him feel very resistant and insecure.

"The Old Ancestor is only staying in the countryside of Pingyang City this year. Usually, she is either in the county of Tianbei or secluded in Shuiyun Sect."

Hearing this, Yu'er couldn't help but ask Tian Lin, "Master, are you inquiring about the Old Ancestor for a reason?"

Tian Lin shook his head.

He thought about how Tong Yao had only brought a young girl out to sea today, without any attendants by her side.

Moreover, after returning to Pingyang City, she did not stay in the city, but chose to live in a secluded and uninhabited countryside.

It seemed she didn't like being disturbed and didn't want people to know her whereabouts.

"Master, if you wish to meet the Old Ancestor, perhaps you can try at the end of the year during the Old Ancestor's grand birthday, to see if there's a chance to meet her."

She said, "With guidance from the Old Ancestor, your Water God Technique and the like can surely be improved. Just another hundred or two hundred years, and reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment is not impossible."

Tian Lin felt like he was being cursed, smiled, and put down his chopsticks.

"The past few days I've been tight on budget, but now I'm finally able to earn some Spirit Stones by fishing. Hence, you no longer need to eat ordinary rice; just eat the Spirit Rice from the yard, and buy more when it's not enough."

Until now, Tian Lin had been eating the Spirit Rice given by the Tong Family. Water Spirit Rice could help him increase his Sword Intent, but Fire Spirit Rice and Golden Spirit Rice had no special effects.

Now he only ate Water Spirit Rice; the remaining Spirit Rice was also not good for selling.

Moreover, how much could he save by scrimping and saving?

He couldn't rely on cutting back to save up dozens of top-grade Spirit Stones.

Yu'er hastened to thank him, not daring to be reserved in front of Tian Lin, fearing that Tian Lin would indeed cut their rations if she pushed him.

The next morning, Tian Lin left the house early again, bumping into Gao He and a young woman at the alleyway.

Although Tian Lin was unfamiliar with the young woman, he could guess her identity.

Tian Lin greeted Gao He with a cupped-hand salute, saying, "Are the esteemed neighbors heading out?"

After Gao He introduced Tian Lin's identity to his wife, he spoke,

"As the end of the month approaches, my wife and I plan to sell the talisman paper we've drawn this month to Duo Bao Pavilion in exchange for Spirit Stones, to buy the Divine Pills we need for the coming month."

After finishing, he asked Tian Lin, "Tian, are you going out to fish in the sea?"

Seeing Tian Lin nod, he asked another question, "I heard that there aren't many fish demons in the Immortal Sinking Pond anymore. I wonder if Tian has had any catch while fishing?"

"Yesterday I had a small harvest, but after all, it pales in comparison to the couple's achievements. You two must have earned quite a few Spirit Stones this month, haven't you?"

Gao He seemed tickled by the comment, stroking his beard with some satisfaction:

"This month has been better than the last, should be able to exchange for several dozen Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Then, I can go and have a good meal at Drunken Immortal Inn."

His wife seemed to have a rather aloof personality, or perhaps she simply didn't want to waste time exchanging pleasantries with old Tian Lin.

She tugged on Gao He's sleeve, and Gao He immediately cupped his hands towards Tian Lin: "Then I wish Fellow Daoist Tian a journey of full ships and barns."

Tian Lin cupped his hands in thanks, and once the couple had left, he too left the city.

When he arrived at Immortal Sinking Pond, the fishermen had risen even earlier than him, with the sails already hoisted high.

Tian Lin spotted Xiao Ke standing on the shore, walked over and said, "The fog today seems to have gotten thicker."

Xiao Ke also couldn't help but express some doubt, "In previous years such fog could only be seen in the distant sea, but in the past half year, this kind of fog has often appeared near the coastal waters as well. Moreover, there's something odd about this fog."

At that moment, Tian Lin could not see anything wrong with the fog.

He summoned his small boat, hoisted the sail, and headed out to sea ahead of the others.

This time, he deliberately avoided the western fog; first, he was wary of the mysterious fog, and secondly, to avoid another encounter with Tong Yao, he chose a different area of the sea that he had not visited yesterday.

He was fully prepared for this journey, vowing to earn more Spirit Stones than yesterday.

Hence, he let go of the smaller fish he encountered with ease.

After more than an hour, he finally spotted a Two-headed Fish smaller than the one from yesterday.

Without hesitation, Tian Lin stripped and dove in, thrusting the fish spear along with a wooden sword into the eyes of the Two-headed Fish.

The Two-headed Fish struggled fiercely, plunging into the deeper sea.

Tian Lin bulged his eyes, firmly gripping the handles of the sword and spear, sinking together with the Two-headed Fish into the deep sea.

In the deep sea, more and more Two-headed Fish appeared, and occasionally some sea fish unseen on the surface swam past Tian Lin.

Tian Lin was starting to feel anxious; in this sea, his abilities were reduced to less than ten percent.

If he couldn't capture the Two-headed Fish beneath him soon, and other sea fish attacked, there would be no way to use the Wind Walking Skill to escape in this sea.

With determination, he used his hand like a claw to fiercely grab the dorsal fin of the Two-headed Fish.

Despite the fin's sharpness like a blade, it couldn't defend against Tian Lin's great strength.

Blood suddenly appeared in the sea; it was unclear whether it was from the Two-headed Fish or from Tian Lin.

As Tian Lin pulled off the dorsal fin, the Two-headed Fish instantly lost its balance, flipping onto its side in the water.

Feeling elated, Tian Lin grabbed the fish spear and tugged at the chest fin of the Two-headed Fish.

This time he failed to pull off the fin but managed to change the swimming direction of the Two-headed Fish like controlling a horse, heading diagonally upwards.

The fish darted left and right, and it took more than a quarter of an hour before it finally died.

Tian Lin bolstered his True Qi, containing it within without releasing, so he could also exert a tremendous force with his feet.

He supported the fish's body while swimming upwards.

But soon he frowned, looking down while floating.

He hadn't noticed it at the beginning, but now he realized that something seemed off with the item display.

It originally showed [Golden Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool], but now in his eyes, it had changed to [Golden Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool] [Soul Replenishing Powder, a Magic Pill that can enhance Spiritual Sense, consumable].

Although there were two items listed, Tian Lin hadn't seen where the [Soul Replenishing Powder] was.

Besides, Tian Lin was all too aware of the preciousness of Soul Replenishing Powder.

Because this substance is an elixir that one would typically purchase at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, its value is much higher than that of the top-grade Spirit Pill, Water God Pill, and not everyone can afford it.

"Is there something that even the waters of Immortal Sinking Pond cannot dissolve? What could it be?"

At this moment, Tian Lin dared not think too much.

He didn't know whether the [Soul Replenishing Powder] had existed in the depths of Immortal Sinking Pond a thousand years ago.

What Tian Lin was certain of was that the sea water on the surface had never shown the presence of [Soul Replenishing Powder].

So, this substance must be emanating from the seabed.

Tian Lin swam around the seabed for almost half an hour, eventually emerging exhausted from the water.

He called over his small boat, climbed aboard, and then pulled the corpses of the Two-headed Fishes into his Storage Bag.

"First, Nine-Life True Man caused trouble on the sea, followed by Tong Yao going out to sea. This Immortal Sinking Pond will likely not be very peaceful in the future."

Tian Lin thought again of the [Soul Replenishing Powder] in the deep sea, feeling irresistibly tempted.

Although he hadn't yet reached the stage where he needed to practice Dharma Manifestation and wasn't in a hurry to consume [Soul Replenishing Powder],

the prospect of enhancing Spiritual Sense was a huge temptation.

Regrettably, although he saw the item displayed in the deep sea, he did not see what the [Soul Replenishing Powder] looked like.

The only way to absorb [Soul Replenishing Powder] seemed to be by vigorously consuming sea water while deep in the sea.

But how much [Soul Replenishing Powder] could one possibly consume by drinking sea water in a single meal?

Tian Lin felt this method was unreliable, largely because the deep sea was far more dangerous compared to the surface.

In the afternoon, Tian Lin still did not dare to dive into the deep sea.

Fortunately, when one door closes, another opens; though he temporarily couldn't get [Soul Replenishing Powder], he subsequently caught two more Two-headed Fishes.
